I’m just curious. I’m sure if it was possible, it would be the most popular cosmetic surgery in the world. No more “my 600 pound life” shows, just go in and come out at your goal weight.

Most fat removal is done for fat under the skin. You need to make a hole in the skin to insert your fat vacuum. Repeated surgeries mean more incisions that may not heal properly (scar) and increase the risk of infection.
Fat cells also do not divide very quickly as you age. If you surgically remove fat, you end up with fewer fat cells which can cause a “lumpy” appearance if you continue to gain fat.
Much of the “bad” accumulated fat lies in the spaces between organs. This kind of fat is not removed through plastic surgery.
